The Walls Around Emotions

Why is it that feeling are something that people try to hide
It’s not because of humility and I don’t think it’s because of pride 

It’s a thing called fear which drives us all to build these walls around us 
Almost the same fear that keeps you to yourself and makes it hard for you to trust

The fear of rejection is the most common of fear and that’s where the foundation begins  
That’s a battle that’s difficult to fight and most of the time fear wins 

So you have the foundation now what comes next to help complete these walls 
The next fear is not as common but from the past is where it calls 

Most people have had bad experience and it dictates decisions they make  
Scared to express there feelings because they have had so much pain and ache   

The feelings of emotional agony and distress can be far worst then physical pains
Constant heartache and indescribable anguish which is why this fear can reign

You will spare your pain by keeping to yourself this is indeed is your notion 
And that is why you are simply left with walls around your emotions

Unrealistic Beauty

Beauty is something which is a gift not a right
Something that it pleasing and pleasant to someone’s sight

But there are different types of beauty some out of the ordinary
I’ve come across one that is truly extraordinary

A beauty to compare with this one you surly will find no other
To find beauty at its true peek there is no need to look any further

A beauty which can not be tamed by flaws or any kind of imperfection
To try and understand how such beauty exist is quite simply perplexing

The beauty I’ve seen is pure and flawless and as for blemishes there is no sign
When in the presents of this impeccable beauty you have seen beauty at its prime

A beauty exceeding the bounds of reason and to complex for imagination
This is truly what was in mind when beauty was brought into creation

A beauty which reveals the superb and completeness of perfection
Because in no way form or fashion does this beauty need any correction

Some may think I’m distorting the truth and that there is and never was such beauty
But with just a glance of this beauty’s face you’ll agree honestly and truly

A beauty which is not confined by mere appearance but has an equal beauty within
To try and fathom the depths of this inner beauty to explain I could not begin

A beauty that is stunning to the eyes and bewildering to the mind
A beauty that will take your breath away and has reached a new degree of fine

Despite all of my words I’m still not eloquent enough to help you to comprehend
The beauty I’ve seen in appearance and the beauty I’ve seen within

When it comes down to it mans mediocre words can’t and won’t help to describe
This unrealistic beauty I’ve seen I know because I just tried.
